Stories of two American photographers. A few years ago, Alyse Emdur found a Polaroid of her family posed in front of a painted beach scene in the visiting room of the prison where her brother was an inmate. 'I was startled by something about it. This painting behind us represented freedom, the exact opposite of what my brother was living.' Alyse is the author of Prison Landscapes, a book about landscape art in America's prison waiting rooms. Plus, the environmental writer Kenneth Brower shares his memories of the celebrated American photographer Ansel Adams. Produced and presented by Viv Jones.
